PARATHYROID HORMONB ANAL0QDE8 BUBBTITPTED AT . 
^^2S, 26^ 27 M?D.oeE IN 0BTEOF0RO8IB TREATMENT 



FIELD OF THE INVENTION - 

This invention relates to analogues of parathyroid hormone 
which, by substitution at the twenty-fifth, twenty-six and 
twenty-seventh positions of natural parathyroid hormone, have 
been found to affect calcium change in bone cells without 
producing the typical effects of parathyroid horrtone on 
systolic and diastolic blood pressure, the effects on smooth 
muscle relaxation, vascular smooth muscle calcium change as 
well as positive chronotropic and inotropic effects on the 
heart. 

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 

Parathyroid hormone (hereinafter, PTH) is produced by the 
parathyroid gland and is involved in the control of calcium 
levels in blood. It is a hypercalceraic hormone, elevating 
blood calcium levels. PTH is a polypeptide and the amino. aciS 
sequences of bovine and "human PTH are closely related.^ Only 
the residues at locations one, seven and sixteen differ between 
the two. Synthetic polypeptides containing the first thirty- 
four residues of PTH may be prepared using the mjethod disclosed 
by Erickson and Merrifield, The Proteins , .Neurath et al,, Eds., 
Academic Press, New York, 1976, page 257, preferably as 
modified by the method of Hodges et air, Peptide Research. 1 , 
19 (1988) , 

When serum calcium is reduced to below a "normal" level, 
the parathyroid gland releases PTH and resorption of bone 
calcium and increased absorption of calcium from the intestine, 
as wbII as renal reabsorption of calcium, occyr. 

The antagonist of PTH is calcitonin, which acts to reduce 
the level of circulating calcium. PTH is known to stimulate 
osteoclasts and its activity requires the presence of 



wo 93/06845 



PCT/US92/08477

derivatives of vitaroin D3, especially 1,25- 
dihydroxycholecaloif erol . 

Intracellular calcium, particularly in the ceAs of the 
vascular system, has been shown to affect changes in vascular 
5 tension, as can be measured by changes in blood pressure. U.S. 

Patent Application 603,745 describes one method which has been 
discovered to regulate calcium uptake in vascular cells. 

osteoporosis is a progressive disease which is 
particularly characteristic of postmenopausal women, and 
10 results in the reduction of total bone mass. The sequelae 

frequently involve fractures of load-bearing bones and the 
physical degenerations characteristic of immobilizing injuries, 
osteoporosis -is ' associated with hyperthyroidism, 
hyperparathyroidism,' Ctishings syndrome and the use of certain 
15 steroidal drugs. Remedies historically have involved increase 

in dietary calcium, estrogen therapy and increased doses of 
vitamin D. 

PTH has been used to treat osteoporosis. However, while 
tliG use of PTII is effective in the treatment of osteoporosis by 

20 diminishing the loss of bone mass, PTH may exliibit other 

undesired pharmalogical effects, such as hypotension and smooth 
" " muscle relaxation (e.g.. .relaxation of gastrointestinal organs, 

uterus, tracheal and vas deferens) as well as positive 
chronotropic and inotropic effects on the heart. The 

25 relaxation effects of PTH on smooth muscle as well as positive 

chronotropic and inotropic effects of PTH are described in Pang 
et al. Trends in Pharmacologica l Sciences. Vol. 1 i Ko. 9, pp. 
340-341 (September 1986) . 

U.S. Patent No. 4,771,124 discloses the property of bovine 

30 and human Pl'H analogues wherein Trp^^ is substituted by amino 

acids phenylalanine, leucine, norleucine, valine, tyrosine, 
beta-naphtylalanine and alpha-naphtylalanine as a PTH 
antagonist. While it was suggested that these analogues might 
be useful in the treatment of osteoporosis, it was based on the 

35 analogues antagonistic action to PTH. Furthermore, there was 

no data to indicate the effectiveness these analogues on bone 
or other tissue. In addition, analogues with substituted at 



wo 93/06845 



PCT/US92/08477 



3 

Trp^-^ with leucine, phenylalanine or tyrosine would produce 
undesired secondary effects of smooth muscle relaxation, 
vascular smooth muscle calcium change as well as positive 
chronotropic and inotropic effects on the heart. 

Because PTH is a peptide, topical administration would be 
the preferred method of administration. However, topical 
application of PTH or the aforementioned analogues which 
exhibit vasoactivity would likely produce an undesired local 
vascular reaction. This reaction could be potentially 
detrimental if, for example, nasal administration is employed. 

It is one object of this invention to ameliorate bone loss 
while preventing smooth muscle relaxation as well as positive 
chronotropic and inotropic effects on the heart and without 
significantly changing blood pressure. It is another object of 
this invention to identify that portion of PTH which is 
responsible for calcium regulation and that portion which 
appears to be primarily related to control of blood pressure 
and smooth muscle action. 

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 

-Modification of either bovine or human PTH at each of the 

twenty-fifth, twenty-sixth and twenty-seventh amino" acid 
positions to substitute for -arginine-lysine-lysine- either 
alanine, asparagine, aspartic acid, cysteine, glutamine, 
glutamic acid, glycine, histidine, isoleucine, leucine, 
methionine, phenylalanine, proline, serine, threonine, 
tryptophan, tyrosine or valine produces substantially no change 
in systolic and diastolic blood pressure, substantially no 
change in muscle tension and substantially no change in the 
rate of contraction and the force of contraction of the heart 
as compared to native PTH. It also has been observed that the 
PTH analogue containing only the first thirty-four amino acids, 
with substitution at the twenty-fifth, twenty-sixth and twenty- 
seventh positions, is equally effective in the "osteo effect" 
without changing blood pressure or causing muscle relaxation or 
positive chronotropic and inotropic effects on the heart.

The analogues of the present invention should be effective 
in ameliorating bone loss while preventing smooth muscle 
relaxation as well as positive chronotropic and inotropic 
effects on the heart and vfithout significantly changing blood 
5 pressure.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION 

There are at least two known catagories of functions for 
PTII. PTII is involved in calcium balance in the blood stream 
and controls both the amount of calcium uptake from the 



/06845 



PCT/US92/08477 



astrointestinal tract and the deposition and removal of 
alcium from bone. Calcium also has been found to be effective 
n the maintenance of blood pressure. Cox, .T , Cardiovascular 
h.rmacoloav . vol. 8 (1986), Supp. 8 S48. Control of calcium xn 
le walls of blood vessels is a useful therapeutic regimen for 
ontroliing hypertension and calcium channel blockers , which 
revent the introduction of calcium into cell walls, is a 
^nventional therapy for hypertension. Needleman et al. xn 
Dodman and Oilman's The PharmacologiraT Basis of Therapeutics , 
acHillan, New York, (1985), page 816 ff. 

Adndnistration of therapeutic doses of PTH has been found 
, be effective for the control of osteoporosis, particularly 
. individuals Who have been subjected to thyroidectomies/ 
.rathyroidectomies. Therapeutic dosages of PTH will, in some 
.dividuals, result in unacceptable diminution of blood 
-essure and may result in relaxation of smooth muscles such as 
.strointestinal, uterus, tracheal, vas deferens as well as 
<hibit positive chronotropic and inotropic effects on the 
,art TO avoid hypotensive effects, smooth muscle relaxation 
Jfects and positive chronotropic and inotropic effects on the 
.art, it was envisaged that the structure of PTH could be 
Edified to decouple the hypotensive, smooth musole relaxation, 
nd positive, chronotropic and inotropic function from the bond 
alcium and bone deposition function. It has now been 
iscovered that a critical site exists at amino acid twenty- 
ive twenty-six and twenty-seven, which is -Arg-Lys-Lys- m 
oth bovine and human PTII. Substitution at the -Arg-Lys-Lys- 
ite with -Ala-Ala-Ala- diminishes the hypotensive as well as 
„ooth muscle relaxation and positive chronotropic and 
notropic effects without denigrating from the osteo effect, 
•hese results suggest that substitution at the -Arg-Lys-Lys- 
:ite with amino acids other than basic amino acids arginin% and 
ysine would also diminish the hypotensive, smooth muscle 
elaxation and positive chronotropic and inotropic effects 
dthout denigrating from the osteo effect. 

The procedure of Erickson and Merrifield, as modified by 
todaes.et_al^, as described above, may be used to synthesize 



wo 93/06845 PeT/US92/08477 

According to the method, Ca^"*" which is present in the ceil can 
be quantified by exciting the dye at two different wavelengths, 
•340 and 380 nm. The emission fluorescence is measured at 510 
nm. The calcium concentration is proportional to the ratio of 
the fluorescent emission when excited at 340 nm to the emission 
at 380 nm. It is conventional to report the concentration of 
calcium within the cell in terms of the fluorescence ratio, the 
340/3.8 0 ratio. This technique is described in Grynkiewicz et 
al., J. Biol, Chem. . 260 . 3440 ( 1985) and Pang et al. , P. N, A. 
S, fUSAV. 07 , 623 (1990). 

Figs. 13, 14 a-d, 17, 18, 21, 22 and 23 illustrate the 
results of the above-described, measurements when inhibitors 
such as an anti-osteoporotic agent (788) or bPTH-(l-34)' fer 
Csll4 were used in the presence of KCl. 

As can be readily seen from the figures, the PTH 
analogues, whether full length or 1-34, which contain anomalous 
amino acids at positions twenty-five, twenty-six and twenty- 
seven (most particularly those which contain Ala -Ala - 
Ala^*'), do not effect a hypotensive and smooth muscle 
relaxation response, including positive chronotropic effects, 
but do inhibit calcium uptake as stimulated by KCl in 
_ osteoblasts,^ which indicates that these compounds would have 
the same effect on bone cells' as PTH and~ would be useful in -the_ 
treatment of osteoporosis in mammals and, particularly, in man, 
without the af ormentioned deleterious side effects in the 
elderly. 

While not being bound by any theory, it is suggested that 
substitution Arg^^-Lys^^-Lys^'^ by other amino acids in 1-84 PTH 
and in the 1-34 analogues removes the vasodepressor, - smooth 
muscle relaxation and positive . chronotropic and inotropic 
effects of either bPTH or hPTH. The effect on KCl induced 
calcium uptake in osteoblasts, however, is essentially 
unchanged for 1-84 or 1-34 PTH. In other words, the effect on 
bone cells is unchanged from PTH. 

The physiological significance of an inhibiting effect on 
the KCL induced calcium uptake in bone cells is not yet 
understood. One hypothesis is that the analogues interact 



wo 93/06845 



PCT/US92/08477 



10 



fully with bone cell receptor activity. The fact that the same 
effect is seen for" both PTII and the analogues disclos.ed herein 
suggests that the site of interaction with the osteoblast cell 
receptor is unchanged by the substitution. 
5 The analogues of the present invention can be used in the 

treatment of osteoporosis and other bone related diseases and 
disorders involving bone cell calcium regulation. 

The analogues of the present invention may be administered 
to a warm-blooded mammalian in need thereof, particularly a. 

10 human, by parental, topical, rectal administration or by 

inhalation. The analogues mai be conventional!, fcrrpulated xn 
a parenteral, dosage form compounding about 1 to about 300 mg 
per unit of dosage with a conventional vehicle, excipienn, 
binder, preservative, stabilizer, color, agent or the like as 

15 called for by accepted pharmaceutical practice. 

For parental administration, a 1 to 10 ml intravenous, 
intramuscular or subcutaneous injection would be given one to 
four times daily. The injection would contain an analogue of 
the present invention in an aqueous isotonic sterile soliitxon 

20 or suspension optionally with a preservative such as phenol or 

a solubilizing agent such as ethylenediaminetetraacetxc acid 
- - - - (EDTA) -. Among -the _ acceptable vehicles and solvents that may be 
employed are water. Ringer's solution and isotonic- . sodium, 
chloride solution. In addition, sterile, fixed oils are 

25 conventionally employed as a solvent or suspending medium. 

synthetic monoglycerides , diglycerides , fatty acids (such as 
oleic acid) find use as fixed oil in the preparation of 
injectables. 

For rectal administration, the analogues of the present 
30 invention can be prepared in the form of suppositories by 

mixing with a suitable non-irritating excipient such as cocoa 
butter or polyethylene glycols. 

For topical use, the analogues of the present invention 
can be prepared in the form of ointments, jellies, solutions, 
35 suspensions or dermal adhesive patches.

obtained from Fisons Corporation of Bedford, Massachusetts, at 
a rate of about 0.1 to 50 mg per capsule, 1 to 8 capsules being 
administered daily for an average huinan. In a liquid aerosol, 
the compounds of the present invention are administered a,t the 
rate of about 100 to 1000 micrograms per "puff" or activated 
release of a standard volume of propellSint. The liquid aerosol 
would be given at the rate of 1 to 8 "puffs" per day with 
variation in dosages due to the severity of the . conditions 
being treated, the weight of the patient and the particle size 
distribution of the aerosol. A fluorinated hydrocarbon or 
isobutane find use as propellents for liquid aerosols. 

Daily, doses are in the range of about 0.01 to about 200 mg 
per kg of body weight, depending on the. activity of- the 
specific compound, the age, weight, sex and conditions of the 
subject to be treated, the type and severity of the disease, 
the frequency and route of administration. As would be well 
known, the amount of active ingredient that may be combined 
with the carried materials to produce a single dosage will vary 
depending : upon the host treated and the particular , mode of 
administration. 

The following examples demonstrate the utility of

pentobarbital and a cannula was inserted into the carotid 
artery. The rats were kept sedated during tte pfbcedux^e and 
were injected with PTH peptides only when the blood pressure of 
the rats were stable. Peptides were injected through a cannula 
in the jugular vein, in amounts of 1, 3 and 5 or more /ig/kg and 
the mean systolic and diastolic blood pressure was monitored 
continuously throughout the procedure. Results are reported

5 with pentobarbital and the tail artery excised and placed in 

ice-cold Krebs-Hanseleit solution (KHS) oxygenated with 95% 
5^ CO,. Each artery was. cut helically and strips of 
approximately 1.5 cm were secured in a, sawyer-Bartlestone 
^ chana,er containing KHS. The force generated by the strips was 
10 measured with a Grass FT03 force displacement transducer and 

recorded on a polygraph. Isolated tail artery helical strips 
were equilibrated for 1 hour prior. to use. 

one to two minutes prior to addition of a peptide,- thB 
strips were contracted by addition of either arginine 
15 vasopressin (AVP) , potassium chloride (KCl) or norepinephrine 

(NE) to the bath. The peptide was then added to the bath and 
the degree of relaxation measured. Bovine serum albumin was 
used as a control. Results are reported as percent decrease m 
tension for each drug and dose used. Drug dose is calculated 
20 on the basis of the final concentration in the bath solution..

Measurement of Intracellular. Free Calcium Concentration In 
vitro 

Intracellular free calcium concentration was measured 
using the fluorescent dye FURA-2 according to the method of 
Grynkiewicz at al., J. Biol. Chem. , 260 , 3440 (1985) and Pang 
et al.,. P. N. A. S, fUSA) , 87 . 623 (1990) . UMR-IQS rat: 
osteosarcoma ceils (ATCC CRL-1661) are incubated in 1-10 fiVT 
FURA-2 AM (Sigma Chemical Co., St. Louis), the acetoraethoxy 
ester of FUHA-2. Upon hydrolysis within the cell, FURA-2 is 
released which selectively binds to free Ca^**". Binding to-Ca^"^ 
shifts the fluorescent spectrum of FURA-2. Quantitation is 
obtained by exciting the dye at two different wavelengths; 
preferably 34 0 and 380 nm and measuring the fluorescent 
emission at 510 nm. The concentration of calcium is 
proportional to the ratio of the fluorescence emitted at 340 nm 
to that at 380 nm. 

KCl is used in the medium to stimulate [Ca^***]j^ increase. 

After the intracellular [Ca^'^]^ had been, measured^ the 
cells were washed with the original medium and the analogues 
added and the intracellular [Ca^*^]j^ measured again. KCl was 
then added without washing to measure the effect of the 
analogue on KCl induced [Ca^^Jj^ changes. After measurement, 
the cells were washed with the medium 3-4 tiiries and KCl again 
added to determine the recovery of the cells after removal of 
the analogue. Results are shown by actual ttaces and 
histograms summarizing the results. As can be seen from Figs.

14 a-d, PTH inhibits intracellar [Ca^+jj^ increases as 
stimulated by KCl and measured by the method. Pigs. 18, 21, 22 
and 23 illustrate comparable results for the aa25/26,27 
analogues. 

The comparability of the analogues and PTii itself is 
considered to indicate that the analogues would be as useful as 
PTH for the treatment of osteoporosis.
